President Trump took executive action Monday to start revoking the security clearances of his former national security adviser, John Bolton, and dozens of intelligence officials who signed a letter in 2020 claiming emails found on a laptop owned by Hunter Biden bore the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign.

The letters signatories include - former US Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Former CIA Director Michael Hayden, former US National Security Advisor, John Bolton, former CIA Director John Brennan.

A new report said payback could be coming for 51 national security officials who said in a crucial pre-election letter in 2020 that the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop being released in the media were Russian disinformation.
